Video of How Ronaldo Contradicted Himself After Al Nassr Move Emerges

• Cristiano Ronaldo will be forced to eat humble after video footage showed he contradicted himself
• The former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward was unveiled as a player of Al Nassr on Tuesday
• He justified his transfer to Saudi Arabia by claiming he has an assignment to 'change the mindset of the new generation'

Cristiano Ronaldo's infamous interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan has not aged well.

The 37-year-old's ill-advised interview with Morgan did the Portuguese superstar more harm than good after his contract with Man United got terminated shortly after.

Since then, a lot of water has passed under Ronaldo's bridge, also failing to glitter at the 2022 World Cup while inking an odd yet mouthwatering deal with Al-Nassr.

Just a couple of months ago, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner assured Piers Morgan during his controversial interview that he didn't care about money, per MARCA.

Despite contradicting himself, CR7 showed no regrets over leaving Europe for Asia at his unveiling held at Mrsool Park on Tuesday, January 3, per GOAL.

How did Ronaldo contradict himself?

"If it was just about money, you'd be in Saudi Arabia earning this king's ransom, but that's not what motivates you. You want to keep at the top," Piers Morgan intimated.

Ronaldo sharply responded: "Exactly."

Earlier reports surrounding the future of Ronaldo suggested the Portuguese superstar lacked suitors from Europe owing to his explosive interview with Piers Morgan.

However, in his press briefing prior to his unveiling as a new player of Al Nassr, Ronaldo disclosed he was actually spoilt for choice but made the odd yet brave choice to swap Europe for Asia.

Ronaldo receives raucous reception

The former Manchester superstar was introduced as ‘the world’s greatest footballer’ in front of 25,000 raucous supporters.

As the 37-year-old made his way onto the field, the charged fans at the stadium chanted his name and lit flares, fireworks and strobe lighting to welcome their new star.
